Explanation:Hi Eddie,
you don't give a lot of context, but I think this could be the case of pulling things down in the city centre to make more open spaces, so I thought of "creating more open spaces" (what a mouthful) or "widenend spaces/areas/places", or something similar (perhaps you could work on that idea if this is what it is), as "enlargement" (best of what's in the dictionary) or extension don't really seem to convey that "ensanchar" idea

However, ensanche is also a suburban development, an enlargement, extension of the city - but you don't mean that here, do you?? And is this Madrid?
